I know it’s been easy to dunk on the COD series for almost a decade now, but what made this one different? I thought they had MTX for the last few games and the gameplay always seems to be the same as the annual sports games, but did it finally hit the wall where the majority of their fan base sees all the issues?
All of them since Call Of Duty 2 have been the lowest rated ever in my book.
COD didn’t start until 4
Wow, the whole singleplayer campaign is a pre-order bonus? It really must be bad, if they’re so hellbent on getting people to buy it before they know what they’ll get.
Early Access to the single player campaign is a pre-order bonus.
Ah, so it’s just that you can play singleplayer already before release, but it will also be available to everyone who buys the game after release?
I interpreted this sentence:
VGC’s Modern Warfare 3 review says of the campaign: “Sold as a pre-order bonus and […]"
…to mean that it would only be available to those who pre-ordered. Which would certainly be wild, but I thought, maybe that is why it’s so short then.
Yep. The single-player campaign is available for everyone, but the people who pre-ordered got to play it a week early.
The shortness of the campaign could be a contributed to a couple factors: there were rumors that MW3 started off life as DLC for MW2; the game developer Sledgehammer Games had come out and said they were initially tasked with developing Advanced Warfare 2 (I think) but that project was cancelled and they pivoted to MW3 and got that completed in 18 months.
Either way, the campaign is a big disappointment. Multiplayer seems to be getting enjoyed by a lot of people, though. Haters gonna hate.
